Amoxicillin, a common antibiotic found in Curam products, fights bacterial infections. It’s crucial to take it exactly as prescribed.
Dosage: Your doctor determines the correct dosage based on your age, weight, and the severity of your infection. Strictly follow their instructions. Never adjust the dosage yourself.
Common side effects: These include diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Less common side effects are rash or allergic reactions. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience a severe allergic reaction (difficulty breathing, swelling).
Interactions: Amoxicillin may interact with certain medications. Inform your doctor about all medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, you are currently taking.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Discuss the use of amoxicillin with your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. They can assess the risks and benefits.
Storage: Store amoxicillin at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Check the expiration date on the packaging.
Missed Dose: Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double up on doses.
Completing the Course: Finish the entire course of amoxicillin, even if you start feeling better. Stopping early can lead to recurring infections and antibiotic resistance.
Allergic Reactions: Amoxicillin can trigger allergic reactions. If you have a history of penicillin allergies, inform your doctor before taking this medication.
